Answer 1

Answer:

'Add Them'

Step-by-step explanation:

Rules for indices:

First law: multiplication

If the two terms have the same base (in this case x) and are to be multiplied together their indices are added.

$x ^{n} \times x^{m} = x^{n + m}$

Second law: Division

If the two terms have the same base (in this case ) and are to be divided their indices are subtracted.

$x ^{n} \div x^{m} = x^{ n- m}$

Third law: Brackets

If a term with a power is itself raised to a power then the powers are multiplied together.

$(x^{n} ) ^{m} = x^{n \times m}$

Fourth law: Negative Power

$x ^{ - n} = (1 \div x^{n} )$

Fifth law: Power of Zero

$x ^{0} = 1$

Sixth law: Fractional Power

The top line of the fractional power gives the usual power of the whole term. The bottom of the fraction stands for the type of root.

$x^{ n\div \: m } = ( \sqrt[m]{x} )^{n}$
